Asian American Widow Files Wrongful Death Suit in Police Shooting

A Japanese American widow who was cowered behind her 86-year old husband as sheriff deputies shot him in their home has filed a wrongful death suit against the Santa Clara County in California’s Silicon Valley.

In court papers obtained by AsAmNews, 90-year-old Harue Craig accuses Deputy Douglas Ulrich of using excessive force and causing emotional distress when he broke down the door to the couples home to conduct a welfare check and “unjustly shot and killed” her husband Eugene.
